Our offense just seems unprepared, dazed and confused. Poor coaching. I know Ben's injured and that's probably been a factor in the slow snaps tonight - but adjustments could have and should have been made by now. Our D is bailing us out, which is not what I expected to see.

I will take a field goal and a 16-6 win. This game is way to scary right now. Very disappointed with the team's performance. Did the coaches take off the bye week or did they game plan for Cincy next week?

I think the fumble in the endzone after an otherwise great set of plays on our 1st drive really set the tone. I don't feel like we ever recovered from that, mentally.

Well, if your offense doesn't score any points and the defense plays lights out all game, there is going to be at least one big play against the D. This Offensive game plan was horrible.

It doesn't help that the offense can't sustain a drive and they keep getting put back out there.

Remember, the Arians way is reverse-reverse-reverse psychology. Play exactly opposite of what's expected and yet somehow manage to not surprise the other team in the least, since most teams have come to expect the "unexpected" (Read: ill-advised)

This team is so lazy.....the capability is there, but their discipline (holding penalties, at-times lackadaisical defensive play, offensive gameplan....I blame Roethlisberger and his minion Arians.....and horrible line play) is going to doom this team. Polamalu out with concussion, Woodley still out with hamstring (lack of proper stretching before game), Stark holding penalties, special teams holding penalties (another one as I type), Pouncey sick again in locker room (stop eating immediately before games)....no discipline whatsoever. They just think they can show up and the games are theirs. Well look at the standings Tomlin. You are now tied with the Bengals for survival in the AFC North......looks like it's Baltimore's year.

What kills me is when he does start off calling a decent game, and then just abandons it later for no reason other than he wants to get his mandatory shots down the field. Doesn't matter what the defense is giving him, he does what he wants to do.
